SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Dec. 6, 2024 – The DLG (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft) is hosting the DLG-Lebensmitteltag Sensorik 2025, a digital conference focused on the groundbreaking potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in sensory quality assurance for the food industry. This online event, taking place on March 20, 2025, will delve into the applications, challenges, and future prospects of AI in ensuring food quality and safety.
AI: A Multifaceted Tool for the Food Industry
The conference will explore how AI can revolutionize various aspects of the food industry, from market research and supply chain management to quality assurance and fraud detection.
"Spätestens seitdem ChatGPT als generative KI in den medialen Fokus gerückt ist, haben Diskussionen, Projekte und KI-Anwendungen auch in der Lebensmittelverarbeitung an Aufmerksamkeit gewonnen," states the official DLG announcement, highlighting the growing interest in AI within the food sector.
Enhancing Efficiency and Sustainability
AI offers significant potential for improving efficiency and sustainability in food production. By analyzing market and customer data, AI can help optimize production, packaging, and logistics, ultimately reducing food waste.
Ensuring Quality, Safety, and Taste
AI plays a crucial role in quality assurance. Advanced image processing technologies and intelligent sensors, combined with machine learning and deep learning models, can assist in quality control processes, foreign body management, and risk assessment. AI tools can also automate routine tasks in quality management, freeing up valuable time for skilled workers while ensuring consistent quality.
Building Trust in AI
Despite its potential, the adoption of AI in the food industry faces challenges. Consumer trust in AI-powered recommendations remains a key concern.
"Gemäß einer forsa-Studie vom Juni 2024 sind 54 Prozent der 18- bis 29-jährigen Befragten mit selbständigen Empfehlungen durch eine KI einverstanden; bei den über 60-jährigen befürworten lediglich 15 Prozent Produktempfehlungen," states the DLG announcement, emphasizing the need for greater transparency and education surrounding AI.
